2.Product Overview
Congratulations on your purchase of a Simpro Multi-Tip. The Multi-Tip is everything a bin lifter
should be - safe, reliable, cost-effective and easy to use. With a 150kg lifting capacity and
15-second tipping cycle, it is ideal for emptying bins at schools, factories and events centres.
The Multi-Tip has a single-mast design which gives the operator a clear view of operations to
ensure safety. No cage-guard is needed, because the two-hand control system prevents the
operator from being able to access any moving parts
while using the machine. The Multi-Tip design is also
very easy to clean and maintain.
The standard Multi-Tip models dump bins
at 1.2m, 1.6m or 1.8m, and are
fitted with a cradle which suits
most standard wheelie bins with
no clamping or modification.
However, Simpro's modular design
means the Multi-Tip can be
quickly adapted to empty almost
any container weighing up to
150kg - including US-style trash
carts, BRUTE® bins, 205-litre drums and even
custom bins.
Like all Simpro products, the Multi-Tip is extremely robust
and requires no regular maintenance.
As far as compliance and relieving me of hard work, this is the best -
absolutely the best!

2.2 Construction
The Multi-Tip consists of a steel frame with one vertical mast, a bin cradle, one hydraulic ram,
guarding, castor wheels, powerpack cover, grab handle with control buttons, power lead or
battery, hydraulic powerpack and control systems.
2.3 Mechanism
When operated, the bin cradle moves vertically in the masts, and is inverted at the
appropriate height by  track. A hydraulic ram provides
the force to lift the bin. The ram is operated by a hydraulic powerpack, which is normally
powered by a battery. Electronic control systems allow the operator to raise or lower the bin
in a controlled manner.
2.4 Safe Lifting Capacity
The Safe Lifting Capacity of the standard model Multi-Tip is 150 kilograms (330lb).
Some machines may be specified with different capacities to suit custom requirements. Refer

given machine.
Safe Lifting Capacity is a gross figure, referring to the weight of the bin, its contents, and
any other external objects which have been placed on the cradle.
Never attempt to lift more than the factory-designated Safe Lifting Capacity noted on
the rating plate.

2.5 Duty cycle
The duty cycle of the Multi-Tip depends on the type of power supply and powerpack that is
fitted to the machine, as well as environmental factors and the manner in which the
machine is used. The figures given below are estimates only.

3.Safety Assessment
The Multi-Tip has been designed to be as safe as possible without restricting the ease-of-use
and versatility of the machine.
A Hazard and Risk Assessment should be undertaken before the Multi-Tip is used for the
first time, as described in Section 3.4.
3.1 Safety features
The safety features of the Multi-Tip are as follows:
1. A shrouded dual-hand control system, which immediately stops the cradle whenever

2. A welded mesh panel which physically prevents the operator from accessing moving
parts while using the machine.
3. A tipping action which maintains the weight of the bin within the machine footprint.
4. A pressure-compensating lowering valve which automatically regulates the lowering
speed regardless of the weight of the bin.
3.2 Reasonably foreseeable misuse
The reasonably foreseeable misuse considered in the Multi-Tip design is as follows:
1. Attempts to use the machine by untrained operators;
2. Attempts to empty bins that the cradle is not specifically designed to hold;
3. Attempts to bypass dual-hand controls or other safety systems;
4. Attempts to access the operational area beneath the cradle without following
proper procedures;
5. Attempts to clean the machine without following proper procedures.
3.3 OSH Compliance Specification Guide
Companies in most jurisdictions (including Australia, NZ, UK, USA, Canada and the EU) are
required by law to provide a safe workplace for their staff, including ensuring that all new
and existing machinery is safe to operate.
Although the particulars of safety legislation differ, most countries accept that machinery is

equivalent thereof).
ISO 13849-1:2015 may call for additional guarding and safety features, depending on the
particular circumstances in which a machine is to be used. The purpose of this section is to
assist potential Multi-Tip owners to determine whether special safety features may be
required on their machine.

User Manual | Simpro Multi-Tip®
Original Instructions | English | v35.0 | December 2019 | Page 10
ISO 13849-1:2015 is a machinery-safety standard issued by the International Standards
Organisation. It provides safety requirements and guidance on the principles for the
design and integration of safety-related parts of control systems (SRP/CS), including the
design of software.
ISO 13849-1 has been modified for local conditions and reissued under different
terminology by some national standards authorities. In Australia and New Zealand the
equivalent (almost identical) standard is called AS/NZS 4024.1:2014.
In the USA, ANSI standards are commonly used to demonstrate the safety of machinery,

parts as well as other factors to create a comprehensive measure of the risk reduction
achieved by a safety function an indicator called Performance Level (PL).
The standard defines five Performance Levels, ranging from PL(a) (lowest performance) to
PL(e) (highest performance).
The standard also defines the Performance Level that a given safety function must achieve
to reduce the risk to an acceptable level a value called Performance Level required (PLr).
3.3.1.1 Determining the Performance Level required (PLr)
As defined by the ISO 13849-1:2015 safety model, the minimum acceptable PLr for any given
safety function is based on three input parameters:
1. Severity of injury expected from the associated hazard
2. Frequency and/or duration of exposure to the associated hazard
3. Possibility of manually avoiding the associated hazard
The following table may be used to determine the acceptable PLr from these parameters.

To demonstrate compliance with ISO 13849-1:2015, the minimum acceptable PLr of the
safety functions must be assessed for each identified hazard in the specific conditions in
which the machine is to be used.
The safety function PLr may be assessed as part of the regular Hazard and Risk
Assessment described in Section 3.4. Although this assessment includes all hazards intrinsic
to the Multi-Tip design, other safety functions may be necessary to address hazards
specific to your intended conditions of use. These can be assessed in the blank spaces
provided.
3.3.1.2 Achieving the Performance Level required (PLr)
As standard, all hazards intrinsic to the Multi-Tip design are addressed by safety functions with
a minimum performance of PL(c).
Therefore, additional or customised safety systems are only required in the following cases:
1. The ies that hazards exist which have been addressed in
the standard Multi-Tip design, but which, due to conditions specific to their intended
conditions of use, require safety function performance of PL(d) or PL(e).
2.  assessment identifies that hazards exist which are entirely specific to
their intended conditions of use, and which have therefore not been addressed in
the standard Multi-Tip design.
3. The customer is subject to corporate policies, union contracts, OSH regulations or
other external factors which demand safety function performance of PL(d) or PL(e),
irrespective of the ISO 13849-1:2015 safety model.
In any of these cases, information about the required safety function PLr should be provided
to Simpro before placing an order. Simpro will then propose additional or uprated systems to
achieve the PLr in compliance with ISO 13849-1:2015. This may include any or all of the
following:
-Upgrade of control system architecture to Category 3 or Category 4
-Additional guarding panels
-Remote control systems
-Training of personnel
-Signage and floor markings
3.4 Hazard and Risk Assessment Guide
Most jurisdictions require machinery owners to conduct a Hazard and Risk Assessment for
their equipment, which considers all relevant factors such as the area it is used, the skill and
training of operators, the proximity of other persons, frequency of use, etc.
The following section is not a complete site-specific Hazard and Risk Assessment, but an
assessment of the risk factors that are intrinsic to the Multi-Tip design. Blank template spaces
are provided for additional site-specific hazards.

User Manual | Simpro Multi-Tip®
Original Instructions | English | v35.0 | December 2019 | Page 12
The procedure for carrying out a Hazard and Risk Assessment is typically defined with
reference to ISO 12100:2010, issued by the International Standards Organisation. This
standard describes procedures for identifying hazards and estimating and evaluating risks
during relevant phases of a machine life cycle.
As with all powered industrial equipment, some hazards will remain despite any
precautions undertaken by the manufacturer or owner of the machine. It is essential that
operators are aware of these residual hazards and what they must do to prevent harm to
themselves or to others, as described in Section 3.4.3.
3.4.1 ISO 12100:2010 risk assessment model
In the ISO 12100:2010 risk assessment model, each identified hazard is given a Risk Factor,
from which is derived a final Risk Evaluation. These parameters can be determined as follows.
3.4.1.1 Determining Risk Factor
The Risk Factor associated with any given hazard may be calculated using the following
table, with the formula: Risk Factor = LO x FE x DPH x NP
3.4.1.2 Determining Risk Evaluation
Once the Risk Factor has been calculated, the Risk Evaluation of the hazard can be
determined from the following table:

4. Operating Instruct ions
4.1 Before operation
Before operating a Multi-Tip bin lifter, check the following points to ensure that the machine is
stable and safe to use.
1. The machine is on level hard ground, with a slope of 1:12 or less.
2. All covers and safety guards are in place.
3. The wheel brakes are applied.
4. All personnel other than the operator are well clear of the machine.
5. The cradle is fully lowered.
6. The key is inserted and turned to the ON position.
7. The battery indicator shows an acceptable level of charge.
4.2 Emplacing and removing bins
All personnel using the machine must know how to correctly emplace and remove bins
from the machine. Bins that are not correctly emplaced may come loose and damage
the machine while being lifted, or fall out when inverted.
The bin cradle is designed to allow bins to be emplaced and removed easily, while also
holding them securely throughout the lifting and tipping cycle. A range of different cradles
may be installed, depending on the types of bin that the machine needs to empty. Use the
following table to identify the correct instructions for your machine.
